Henrietta

This beautiful, precious, very overweight girl was thrown out and left in the woods to die. How and why can anyone do this? It breaks my heart.

We got a call that night saying some people out walking found her. She had dug a hole to lay in. She had no food or water, and it was cold and raining. She had trouble walking. Thank goodness the walkers found her, and the rescue team loaded her up and brought her to us.

She was very scared at first. We’re not sure how long she had been trying to survive on her own. She was a little snappy and didn’t want to be around anyone, but she finally began to warm up to us and trust that we were there to protect her and take care of her.

We took her to the vet to see why she couldn’t walk and to make sure she was healthy and had no other problems. Her knee looked like someone had taken a bat to it and smashed it. That’s what was causing so much pain and keeping her from being able to walk.

This girl is so sweet. She still loves to live in the woods, but she walks up to the house to sleep and get out of the weather.

She desperately needs surgery: to be spayed and a facelift because she can’t see through all the fat. We hope to have her spay, knee surgery, and facelift done by this summer.
